The Hambantota District Office of the Department of Motor Traffic (DMT) has temporarily halted the daily issuance of driving licenses due to a breakdown of telephone connections at the Hambantota Administrative Complex, the Commissioner General of Motor Traffic Transport confirmed.
Authorities said efforts are underway to update the affected phone line, and steps will soon be taken to reactivate the online driving license issuance system.
The DMT has urged the public to remain patient while services are restored.
